I was discharged from the Coast Guard on 31 July 72. My wife and I left our military housing at Ft. Hamilton in Brooklyn, NY towards my Mom's place in Sacramento, CA. We decided to detour through Chama and ride the C&TS. In those days you bussed to Antonito and rode the train back or vica versa. The next morning we boarded our bus and pulled out for Antonito. About 3/4's of the way to Antonito our bus ran out of fuel. No cell phones no call boxes. We sat there for an hour (did I mention we had my 6 month old son with us). Finally a State trooper came by and used his radio to call for help. After another have an hour a small tank truck showed up and filled us up. The train was held for us and we had a nice trip, as it turned out in those rustic boxcars! I have often wanted to go back but I am afraid the altitude is not for me!
